ing Company, have petitioned the
superior court for the appointment
of a receiver and an order dissolving
' the charter.
U Details of Singleton’s scheme, as
■recounted in the petition, are in

that the company was organized in

■ The petition states that Baker
Bought and paid for 15 shares of
lie stock at 8100.00 per share; Ar
Singleton 48 shares at the same
■rice. Singleton was elected presi

Hue affairs of the company. He
*ixed his salary, state the petition
ers, at SIOO.OO per week; named
Arnold secretary and treasurer, and
fixed his salary at the same.
Then the company started busi
ness. Chemical eggs were sold in
quantities. In the course of events
the company opened a branch in
Pittsburg, and Singleton went there
to take charge. The petitioners say
they believe he did a flourishing
business, and took in much money;
none of which, however, they ever
say, they claim.
Early in May Singleton telegraph
ed that he had closed the Pittsburg
branch and opened another in Chic
ago. The petitioners say they be
lieve he did no such thing, but
charge that he absconded.
A short time ago bills began to
arrive from Pittsburg, states the

able to pay.

We desire to say in reference to
the above statement that Taylor &
Kennington sold some of these eggs
and in good faith promised to furn
ish each purchaser with a medicine
cabinet relying on the integrity of
these people. However, as it now
seems, that it was a fake scheme
and the cabinets will not be forth

Last bf Mts. Shin
holder’s Recitals.
Misses Chapman and Watson
Give Pleasing Musical In
terpretations.
The third and last of Mrs. Shin
holser’s recitals was given at Wes
leyan College, when Miss Carrie
Mae Chapman and Miss Lillian
Watson made their appearance as
graduates in piano.
The program was interesting and
well chosen, and each number was
well g.ven and heartily encored.
Espec’al mention should be made
of the brilliant rendering of the
: Weber Concerto by Miss Chapman.
Her playing all evening showed a
splendid technique combined with
artistic and poetic conception of her
numbers. Miss Watson’s selections
were given weth delicacy of expres
sion which, rever weak and readily
rising to forc’Vnd brilliancy, gave
evidence of a musitfal temperment
and easy versatility. Both young
women have talent which has been
carefully developed.
The singing of Miss Anna Ruth
Childs, soprano (pupil of Miss Bach
man,) who assisted the two gradu
ates, was enjoyed.—Macon Tele

The Editor Needs Bread.
“It is reported tlmt a fastidious lady in a
neighboring town kneads bread with gloves on.
This incident may be somewhat peculiar
but there are others —The Editor of this paper
needs bread with his shoes on; he needs bread
with his shirt on; he also needs bread with his
pants on; and unless some of his delinquent
subscribers pay up before long, he will need
bread without a blame thing on and this is no
garden of Eden in the wintertime.”
Now my friends the above quotation may
seem like a joke but when you come to think
of it, it takes money to run a newspaper, and
several hundred of our subscribers are delin
quent ; scores of them will pay when they think
of it or upon a simple presentation of their bill
and in all probability you are among the num
ber, but it is impossible to see every one and we
take this liberty of reminding you of the small
amount due which means very little to you, but
in the aggregate means a great deal to us. We
hope to retain you as a friend and subscriber
and trust that you will remember to send us tin*
small amount flue.
A Truthful Ad
vertisement.
In this issue of the Journal you
will see an attractive advertisement
of Walker’s Pharmacy in which
“Val Adams” opens up his heart
and peels out the truth to the people
of this section about the drug busi
ness and all of its branches. He
also describes his place of business
as an attractive place and an ideal
place to spend your leisure time.
Be sure you read his advertise
ment.
It is really interesting.

dren always favor Macon as the
